The largest members of the deer family (Cervidae),
Moose are found in northern forests across Eurasia,
from Scandinavia and Poland
to eastern Russia, and across
North America from Alaska
and British Columbia to
Labrador and Nova Scotia.
The same species, Alces alces,
occurs on both continents.
This pattern of distribution
is called circumboreal. Adult
bulls stand nearly 2 m tall at
the shoulder and have the
most massive antlers of any
member of the deer family.
Long a critical source of food,
clothing, and implements
for First Nations, the majestic
Moose also fascinated early
explorers, whose writings
included many accounts of
Moose. Moose have survived
the advance of civilization rather well, and an estimated
800,000 to 1.2 million live in North America today.
